Chapter 157: Mutiny
readx;
Time flashed to the next morning. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Although the weather was still sunny, it was clear that even after a night's rest, George still looked haggard.
When the bad news was told to George, Manning Knight thought the man would be furious!
But George just replied lightly, 'Got it', and didn't ask any more.
After being stunned for a while, Manning opened his mouth, seeing that his childhood playmate had become like this, he wanted to be relieved but could not speak, so he could only go out of the tent in silence.
Last night, Baron Upton, the most powerful of the nobles who escaped from the Rolands, took away five thousand elites of the Roland people overnight, in his opinion, the Roland people have declined, although they will not go to the Capetians, but it is better to stand on their own than to be tied to the Roland people to have a future.
Not only Upton, but also several nobles under George who had military power even vaguely asked Nicole Bran to join.
Although in order not to cause internal contradictions, the Bolan people did not take a stand.
But for Roland, it's just a matter of time.
Except for Manning and the other nobles loyal to the Thorn Banner who would follow Roland to the death, most of them were still waiting.
But as soon as Manning left, Villanica walked in, and her immature face was incredulous!
"Brother, Lord Upton has defected, aren't you angry?"
George pinched his eyebrows with a little headache, "Villanica, didn't I tell you not to eavesdrop?"
The young girl did not understand the conflict of interests of these political groups, and in her opinion, these nobles who had been loyal to Roland did not think about how to restore the family's former glory at such a critical moment, but betrayed them at this time!
Unbelievable!
"Brother, I'm going to question those people! What makes their loyalty so cheap!"
The girl was indignant, and after speaking, she was going to find those aristocratic theories.
"Stop! Villanica Loren, I told you, it's not your turn to be involved in these things!"
George's tone suddenly became extremely serious, causing the girl to stop.
"But"
"No, now, go back to your tent, I'll take care of these things. ”
George's tone was undoubted, and the stern gaze made the girl's hands tremble slightly, and she seemed to be a little angry George's tone, looking at her brother's eyes, and ran away without looking back.
Seeing Villanika leaving, the feeling of being riddled with trivial matters made it difficult for him to breathe.
Not involving Villanica is also to protect her, those wolf-like nobles will not have any mercy, his sister is still young, if she is involved in a power struggle, the slightest carelessness will be shattered, which is also something that George does not want to see.
Once, his father was the umbrella for the two, but now, the responsibility of protecting Villanika falls to George.
The army was to march early in the morning and arrive in Lidney before the early hours of the morning.
Mien has also heard about what is happening inside the Rolands, but it has to be said that this is also a disadvantage of this world's power system.
A big lord often has several big nobles under his command, and these big nobles also have countless small nobles under his command, and the layered power system often makes the ruler often have to face an extremely chaotic situation.
The image point is that the nobles who are loyal to me are not loyal to me.
Now that the Roland people are gone, it is not surprising that the people under their hands have all kinds of small movements.
Riding on the horse, Minn always felt that someone was spying on him, but looking back, there was no one else.
At the same time, Merlin mysteriously leaned over to Mine, looked around and whispered, "Mine, why do I think there are fewer people than yesterday, is it my delusion?"
Mien looked at the mysterious Merlin, and said in his heart, of course it's not your illusion, there are five thousand people missing, even a blind person can see it.
But this kind of thing can't be talked about, Meen looked at Merlin and smiled and said, "Well, it should be your hallucination." ”
Merlin looked around suspiciously, and muttered to himself, "I wonder how I think it's just that some people are missing."
However, at this time, Mien saw an acquaintance, the former defense officer of Lidney City, Lord Cass.
It's just that the city defense officer, who was originally full of red light and had taken advantage of the female lord, was now gray-faced, with a thick bandage on his chest, and he also lost an arm.
Originally, the female lord could directly punish Cass, but in line with the principle of making the best use of things, it is clear that the unlucky captain Cass was assigned to the army.
In Hogg's hands, Minn could imagine that this unlucky guy would definitely be at the front of the charge for any work.
But I have to say that this guy's life is really hard, and he is still alive.
And Cass could naturally recognize who Mien was, and feeling Mien's gaze, Captain Cass turned around and laughed twice, and quickened his pace and hurriedly left Minne.
It's just a small person, and it doesn't deserve too much attention from Meeon.
But at this time, no one noticed, and a black red-eyed crow swept through the sky and stopped on a tree on the side of the road.
By noon, the army had moved into the sphere of influence of Inverness, and after explaining the situation to the garrison, it remained only temporarily, though it was very dissatisfied with the domineering attitude of the Berlans.
But an army of more than 50,000 people was under his nose, and as long as these people did not make any superfluous moves, the lord of Inverness City would turn a blind eye.
Because the supplies had been exhausted, and the scouts had not noticed any pursuit by the Capetians, the Berans were no longer in a hurry.
A group of men and horses were sent into the city to procure some necessary supplies, and the army camped on the spot, and after everyone had eaten, continued to advance.
However, just as Mien was about to have his lunch, a Berland soldier walked to the door of the tent and said a few words to Rhodes, who was guarding outside, and then Rod opened the tent curtain and walked in respectfully, "Your Excellency, the Branish soldier just asked me to convey to you that there is an old man outside who wants to see you. ”
Old man?
Mien frowned slightly, "What kind of old man?"
Rod shook his head, "He didn't say that. ”
It's a time of war, and Meen has been on guard against the mage's methods, an old man who doesn't know where to go
Pondering for a moment, "Let him ask what is the matter"
But as Mien was talking, there was a commotion outside, accompanied by the sound of a sword unsheathed
"You can't come here!"
Mien's expression sank, "It seems that there is no need. ”
Ready to ignite the Holy Power, Rhodes also drew his long sword and stood in front of Meen.
If there is any danger, he will be the first to pounce!
At this moment, Mien's curtain was lifted, and a pair of withered right hands like dead wood appeared in Mien's eyes. (To be continued.) )
